Going to Heaven

Just wanted to drop by to let everyone know that I'd be out of town from 17th till 20th Feb (or may be 22nd at the most).I'm going to visit this place in Mount Abu, Rajasthan. Without any doubt, it IS the only heaven on earth, if some of you ever visited the Brahma Kumaris headquarters, you'll know and agree to this statement.I'll be going to both the above shown links. If you ever come to visit India, never miss the chance to visit the Brahma Kumaris Head Quarters!My blog posti

Why I wasn't Able to Login into my WordPress User Account at all?

Today, I created a new post to publish to my blog at Easy Technical Blog . As I normally use Windows Live Writer to write all my posts offline, I wrote one today too and posted it as a draft on my above blog. It posted without a problem.Then, as usual, I went to my blog and directly went to the admin area (I post as a normal user and my user password is normally saved in lastpass). I use Google Chrome as the browser. When I tried to login to the admin area with my username and proper password,

Use Windows Live Writer to Write and Publish Posts to your Blog

Since a long time I have used Windows Live Writer to write post drafts for blogs and for my own blog that I started a few days back, I'm using the same Live Writer to write posts. Sometimes, to avoid distraction, I even switch to offline (by disconnecting the Internet) and peacefully just concentrate on my writing. Later when I'm finished writing, I then go online and publish my post with just a click of a button.The experience is similar to that of using a webmail client like Gmail/Yah

How to use a personal image as an avatar when commenting on your blog?

Shawn was the first person to comment on my blog and when I replied to his comment, I noticed that he had a personal image as an avatar with his comment, and was amazed how he might have done it. I use the commentluv plugin (which is another great plugin in addition to the one mentioned below), so I checked to see whether he had registered as a user on my blog, but he hadn't. Then how was he able to post such a nice image as an avatar? I wanted to find out. So, at first, I checked my WP

What Happened to my Blog Today?

Well, nothing really happened to my blog! It's intact and still online. I just added two good sub-pages under the About page, namely Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.I did this because I read somewhere that before applying for Google Adsense, we should have these things in place: A privacy policy page. An About page. A Contact us page. Proper name and email address on About or Contact page. A good blog design. A minimum of 70 posts (though people with less number of posts

Getting 50 gigs of Backup Space at Box

Updated on 10 Feb, 2013:Here's another one from Box, double the previous storage - 50 GB of online space. Get it before the promotion expires. It's just sponsored by Dell but you don't have to have a Dell computer to be able to sign up.I'm fond of backing up data and writing about backups. That's why there's a series of backup posts coming up on my blog, http://easytechnicalblog.com . Yesterday I read that box.com was offering a 25 GB free account. It's not clear as t

So, at last Raspal went Premium

I'm overjoyed to let you all know that I went premium at last. There were some problems with the credit card system and at first even though I got a "payment successful" page from WA, my payment wasn't actually taken and soon I got an email that my credit card company had declined the payment.I tried to pay again immediately but the option to upgrade at the discounted price of USD 19 was gone from my WA home. I waited for a long time for Kyle to come in chat and explained what had happen

My first Blog Post on my Own Domain - comments are welcome.

Well, I didn't get any comments or suggestions so as to what more to include on the first page, to make it 400 words or more. So, I just thought I'd start adding the technical blog posts one by one and forget about the front page / landing page.So, here's my first page titled "How do you take a backup of a computer which does not even boot or start Windows?"It'll be nice if some of you could comment on it (not on easytechnicalblog, but post your comments here) as it's my firs

What to write on the first page on my blog?

I have a technical blog named easytechnicalblog which I haven't yet started posting any technical articles to. I do have a few posts articles that I already composed these last few days, but waiting to proofread them all. The first one links to all the others.But before posting these, as I was on the 8th lesson in level 1, it said to write at least a 400 page first page post. The posts that I spoke about above are all technical so they all would go under http://easytechnicalblog.com/blog but
